SOME OF OUR LATEST WORK IN UNDER 40 SECONDS

Founder, CEO

Having been named Ad Age’s Small Agency of the Year in Battery’s second year in business, Anson continues to change the way companies are built. Prior to Battery, he started his career leading brand marketing in the toy and video game industries before co-founding and selling one of the first pure play social media agencies called RocketXL.

LEADERSHIP TEAM

Chief Creative Officer

Philip Khosid

Philip’s unwavering energy to create work that rattles the mind of the consumer drives our creative philosophy. A Canuck by blood, his career has brought him to BBDO Toronto, Grey Worldwide and Dare London, but he’s grown to love the sunshine in the City of Angels as an avid motorcycle rider. He can often be found on one of his favorite SoCal tracks racing his bikes in hairpin turns at over 140 mph.

Co-Creative Director

Raymond Hwang

Ray has a rich history of campaigns that build brands and sell products. Before Battery, he worked on high profile clients like Beats, Toyota and PlayStation. A Chiat and Saatchi alum, he’s won Clios, One Show, Cannes and pretty much every award out there. Ray is one of those guys who get up at 5am to drive from his downtown LA loft to surf El Porto before work every morning utilizing his self-rigged mobile shower.

Co-Creative Director

Bernie O’Dowd

An Art Director by trade, Bernie helped create some of the most notable campaigns of all time from Taco Bell’s Spanish speaking Chihuahua to a suicidal robot in General Motors’ Super Bowl spot. Bernie traded in his East Coast roots to settle in at Deutsch, Chiat and Team One before Battery. As a former professional skateboarder, Bernie spends two nights a week in the Santa Monica skate park teaching his 33,000+ Instagram followers (@sk8boardingsaves) how it’s done.

Director of Strategy

Philip Ser

Phil bridges the left and right parts of the Battery brain to drive strategic development. Familiar with client and agency, he’s done it all, from launching billion dollar entertainment brands including Batman, to managing flagship product for companies including Warner Bros., 2K Games, and Team One. Phil loves to think he has time to practice his passion for pugilism and punish the air with his fists of self-proclaimed fury. That is, when he isn’t overrun by his twins at home.

Executive Producer

Joanna Rhodes

Joanna hails from Leo Burnett and Ogilvy in Chicago, having worked on prominent campaigns for Unilever’s Dove ‘Campaign for Real Beauty’ and Kellog’s Special K Integrated campaigns. Now safely planted in LA for the past 3 years, she left the snow behind and dug right into the brave and highly creative culture at Battery. Joanna loves sports and witnessed her Cubbies take home the World Series (2016), so now all is perfect in her world. Oh, and if you ask her to play golf, she will happily oblige, anytime.

Producer

Mackenzie Busch

Mackenzie is a Jill of all trades, there is nothing she can’t do or hasn’t already done to make it all happen. Mackenzie began her life on the farm in Indiana and made her way to LA and has since been an Islands server, a Paramount Studios tour guide, a talent agent’s assistant twice over, spent four years at Ant Farm eventually becoming their Chief of Staff. When Mackenzie isn’t at Battery obsessively checking her emails she is brunching hard and Netflixing harder!
